Selevesnya combo
1 week ago
Hello, here is my first pauper deck. I will play it at my LGS mainly against meta deccks (tier 1 to 3). I built it because i want to play an original deck and above all i enjoy non linear gameplay. So here are the 3 lines of the deck :
-
Combo with Devoted Druid + Presence of Gond and Sigil of the Nayan Gods or Ivy Lane Denizen. There is card draw (all the sorceries, also filling my graveyard) and Auramancer to find it and Vines of Vastwood to protect it
-
Swarm with elves with Presence of Gond and boost them with Vines of Vastwood and Ivy Lane Denizen. I can also ramp with Devoted Druid and Vines of Vastwood
-
Boosting the wurm via Sigil of the Nayan Gods to swing hard in the long grindy games.
I have a lot of questions and i would realy appreciate your help and advice on the deck :
- Do you think the deck is consistent enough ?
- Can it challenge (or at least have a good time playing it) against the meta decks ?
- What about the side ? I choosed to protect mainly against aggro decks
All advice are welcome, thanks.
PS: It hurts me to have built this because I hate elves.

DemonDragonJ: Yeah, my loathing of five-color goodstuff mostly comes from how this is supposed to be the color-restricted format: I have a Ghave, Guru of Spores deck, but if I want to make a Rith, the Awakener or Marath, Will of the Wild *f-etch* deck, I have to lose the black cards (and probably the entire Aristocrats theme). So, no more Grave Pact or Dictate of Erebos. No more Pitiless Plunderer. No more Diabolic Intent. No more Blood Artist or Bastion of Remembrance. I do gain red, though, so say hello to Purphoros, God of the Forge. Rhys the Redeemed or Nemata, Primeval Warden would be even more restricted, as token decks go.
My removal also suffers, since red removal is surprisingly bad in this format. (Seriously, I'd argue white has the best removal, followed closely by black. Green's a distant third, and red and blue are tied for fourth: Red has more removal, blue has better removal.)
And it happens between Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, Betor, Ancestor's Voice, Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, Beledros Witherbloom, and Licia, Sanguine Tribune too. All are lifegain, but only Oloro can use Absorb and Drogskol Reaver. Only Licia can use Lightning Helix and Searing Meditation. Only Betor can use Beledros Witherbloom. Ayli and Witherbloom are even more restricted, especially since Witherbloom can't use the color that's best at lifegain.
But that's the whole point. When I choose a Commander, I make a lot of choices regarding deck construction. I can't say "Cathars' Crusade would be good in my Animar, Soul of Elements deck." because, well, it wouldn't; it would be illegal. That forces me to pick, I don't know, Ivy Lane Denizen or Forgotten Ancient instead. Corpsejack Menace? You mean Branching Evolution? (Aside from the name, why is Corpsejack Menace anyway? I actually wouldn't mind if it were just because that's Simic's thing.) And so on down the line.
Five-color goodstuff opts to ignore all of this. And right now, there are more five-color decks in EDH than in Legacy.
Eh, I can always just hate them out with Primal Order.
That's my rant about how too much five-color goodstuff is bad for the game.
Anyway, I play Aura Shards and Seedborn Muse in a lot of decks too. Aura Shards is really oppressive in a token build, or even a reanimator build. Seedborn Muse is interesting because she's either overpowered (anything , token builds, Yeva, Nature's Herald) or just a fancy Village Bell-Ringer without the Splinter Twin combo. I have to go through my decks now and see which ones have four or more game changers.

Toski's Squirrel Army
3 months ago
I also just did away with, Augur of Autumn for Ivy Lane Denizen, as Ivy Lane paired up with, Scurry Oak would give an infinite squirrel combo as well as infinite ramp for Scurry Oak.
Also replaced, Sword of Fire and Ice with Rancor. I just felt like I might be potentially overdoing it with the card draw, I don't want to accidently deck myself which this deck can potentially do if you're not paying attention. The protections are nice, but my only concern is keeping Toski alive and I feel I have enough of that already. This deck is gonna win most of the time off an army of pissed off squirrels anyways. Also felt, Rancor was a good fit for the single mana cost as it can go well with Toski or any other creature that could ramp up easily like, Scurry Oak with the Ivy Lane Denizen combo.

Only reason why I would use Finale of Devastation is if I’m aiming for an ultra budget build, but then again, I can just use dual tap lands and still use Chord of Calling. Look at it this way, before my opponents end phase if I have either Ivy Lane Denizen or Scurry Oak in the field and have plenty of mana to use, I can cast Chord of Calling to tutor either one that’s not on the field, I can get the combo going while it’s still their turn. And when it’s my turn I can immediately go to combat with however many squirrels I decided to create. Does that make more sense @Predator_90?

Predator_90 Instant > Sorcery. Why would I pay 10 additional mana for a sorcery? Chord of Calling have 2 targets: Ivy Lane Denizen and Scurry Oak. Paying that extra 6 or 7 mana for a sorcery makes no sense. Think about it. I don’t need that pump when I got 1 million squirrels. And on top of that if I have Impact Tremors, before I even get a million squirrels, opponent would be done at 20.

Squirrel Combos

-
Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest goes infinite with Scurry Oak and Basking Broodscale with a sac outlet (Ivy Lane Denizen also goes infinite)
-
Nuka-Cola Vending Machine + Academy Manufactor/Peregrin Took + Krark-Clan Ironworks/Grinding Station goes infinite
-
Basking Broodscale + Tarrian's Soulcleaver goes infinite
Ygra, Eater of All goes infinite with camelia and Experimental Confectioner
Using the above to explain my adds:
ADD (16)
Phyrexian Altar/Blasting Station
Lively Dirge:helps to get cheap combo pieces
DROPS (need to drop a single card too to get to 100) 17
4x lands (this deck looks like it can run fine off of 30 if you add 4-5 0-1 cmc ramp pieces)
Cauldron Familiar (unless I am missing the combo piece for it in the list)
Craterhoof Behemoth: may be a bit win more. don't see it doing much
Gala Greeters: meh card
Gilded Goose: meh
Tireless Provisioner: could stay or go
Toski, Bearer of Secrets: don't know how aggro this deck is, seems more combo oriented
Damnation: probably between MHM and fallout you have enough wipes
Nature's Claim: good removal but probably good on that
Woe Strider probably fine on sac outlets
May consider Protean Hulk piles as well

!!! Chatterfang and the hungry Crew !!!
9 months ago
In my personal decklist (Chatterfang Casual EDH), I have 3 win cons :
-
Lifedrain (with Bastion of Remembrance, Zulaport Cutthroat and Blood Artist), which is the most reliable one, as it usually kills all my opponents at once. With Chattefang, it's easy to reach 20+ drains, which is huge in late game.
-
Big tokens (with cards like Creakwood Liege, Return of the Wildspeaker, Craterhoof Behemoth (more expensive this one)), which can easily kill your opponent if you have 10+ squirrel on the battlefield. Garruk, Cursed Huntsman isn't a bad addition in the deck, but I think it's a bit "slow", as it will need at least 1 full turn of table before having the emblem. Your opponents will usually focus it and kill it during this time.
-
Commander Damage, it doesn't happen often (to be honest, I never killed someone with commander damage in more than 20 games). But it is useful if you play against a lifegain deck or a stax deck. Commander damage can easily be done when you buff all your squirrels (including Chatterfang), and you can also sacrifice X squirrels to give +X/-X to Chatterfang. It's also why I suggested Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth, which make your commander unblockable (and is a good land anyway). The BLB card The Odd Acorn Gang you put in the deck also helps this win condition.
Additionally, Pitiless Plunderer and Warren Soultrader are cards that wins you the game always all the time you'll play it with Chatterfang, as they'll give you almost-infinite mana and ETB/LTB trigger.
Another win condition would be to add Ivy Lane Denizen, which combo with Scurry Oak and give you an infinite/infinite creature and infinite 1/1 squirrels. You may need to add some creature tutor to get both of the cards at the same time (I would suggest Chord of Calling, Dig Up, Diabolic Tutor and Fauna Shaman as buget card. You may also add more expensive card like Vampiric Tutor or Demonic Tutor).
As you say, with the new BLB card, it may exist other win conditions, which can involve food token.
I think you shouldn't focus on one particular win condition. Having more than one way to win can make your deck more reliable (that is my opinion, it may not be true). However, focusing on 1 or 2 win conditions will help you cut some card and having a better deck (it's a question of perfectly balance, as all think should be).
I will also suggest you Acorn Harvest which give you squirrel (not a very strong card, but for 6 mana it creates you 4 squirrels (8 with Chatterfang), not bad).
As cut suggestions, I would suggest Acorn Catapult (which I find very expensive, just to create 1 Squirrel by turn), Cloakwood Hermit (as it need "creature card" put in your graveyard. However, token aren't cards (rule 111.6. A token is subject to anything that affects permanents in general or that affects the token’s card type or subtype. A token isn’t a card) so it doesn't work (I thought about this card when a friend suggests it to me, I was disappointed to learn this rule :( )) and Squirrel Mob (on paper, the card seems good in the deck, but fill the board with tokens is better than having a big creature that will be blocked by anything). I also find Squirrel Sanctuary a bit slow (but it combos with Earthcraft, which I don't have because of its price, but make Squirrel Sanctuary strong). Wrap in Vigor is literally a Golgari Charm in less good (its only advantage is that is cost instead of ). Toski, Bearer of Secrets is also a card I find a bit slow. I bought it for my deck, but it never convinced me, and I would prefer Driven / Despair to it, which can also help you win, or other draw cards (Village Rites, Plumb the Forbidden...). Finally, Putrefy is not the most relevant card in the deck, as you already have a lot of Artifact/Enchantment removal, and Chatterfang is a creature removal. You may prefer Nature's Claim or Maelstrom Pulse as removal, or add more token synergy card (you can also add Crack Open, which is similar to Pest Infestation in the deck (I need to buy Pest Infestation, it seems incredible in a Chatterfang deck))

Warstorm Surge is so slow for this kind of deck. I'd replace the etb trigger for a sac outlet like Goblin Bombardment, which can do early pinging. Ivy Lane Denizen doesn't really synergise with anthem effects either, you'd be just randomly sticking the counter onto a creature if Scurry Oak isn't out on the field.
